questions + answers

I am based in Mackay, QLD. Australia — and I'm more than happy to travel! My pricing includes travel within the local area only, but upon contacting me we can discuss the session you have in mind and go over possible travel and accomodation costs.

Having the right fit photographer is so important. Make sure to have a good look through my portfolio to ensure you love my style and they way I capture connections, details and utilise our location and as always feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My approach to capturing moments during our session is documentary style, keeping things real, relaxed and candid. I love capturing the raw emotions and true connections between people, the moments that matter, the tiniest of details and everything in-between.

My booking process is simple:  contact me — we go over the fine details + desired date — sign contract — pay non-refundable retainer — I'm all yours!

I book on a first come, first served basis, so unfortunately I can't hold dates until the booking process is complete. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have before you book via email, phone, or FaceTime.

I always suggest that you wear something that makes you feel confident, while keeping comfortable. Try to have your outfits compliment each other, without being too matchy-matchy. Avoid large logos, busy patterns, and tiny stripes as these can make your photos look very busy. And, my all time favourite... incorporate texture where you can! I'm a huge lover of linen, chunky knits, layering, vintage denim and delicate accessories.

Professional hair and make-up before our session is definitely a nice treat, but not a necessity. Professional or at-home — I recommend keeping things classic and natural looking, so that when you look back on your photos in years to come they remain timeless. I'm happy for whatever option you choose, I just want you to feel comfortable and confident!

MEN + BOYS | A fresh haircut / shave / beard groom leading up to our session is always a great idea!

PICNIC RUG |
I have an array of rugs that I'm happy to supply for our session, but if you have a favourite please bring it along.

WATER + SNACKS |
Or even a full picnic if that's the type of session you have in mind! Snacks are always handy for your little ones, even if they're not consumed during our session they're great for the car ride home.

BUG SPRAY |
Some locations can be worse than others, so it's always a great item to bring along.

HATS |
As an optional accessory or sun protection for yourselves and your little ones.

ADDITIONAL CLOTHING |
I always suggest a spare set of clothes for your little ones, as they tend to get a bit messy throughout our sessions. It's optional to bring a spare set for yourself if you'd like a bit of variety within your session. Even if it's not a full wardrobe change, feel free to bring along a few different layers (knits, jackets, etc.)
